Urban stormwater management is complex with diverse institutional responsibilities, imperfect regulation, and limited, often unclear accountabilities. Improving practices in that context requires strong leadership, long-term commitment, lasting interorganizational relationships founded on trust. We summarize events steered Melbourne's waterway authority to support a catchment-scale experiment markedly different from applications or research approaches it had previously attempted. highlight...
New WHO and Australian guidelines promote a risk-management approach for minimising exposure to pathogens in recreational waters. Between 2003 2005, they were applied Lake Parramatta (10 ha, 450 ML), potential recreation site Sydney, Australia. A three stage was developed involving (1) initial suitability assessment using historic data, (2) revised based on new data (3) characterisation of hazardous (especially wet weather) events. Contrary the 1 classification, 2 baseline indicated that...
This social research aims to identify and examine the implementation presumptions of intergovernmental environmental planning programmes how improve their effectiveness in future practice. It contrasts explains organisational dynamics responses municipalities that succeeded failed realising objective such a programme. The involved qualitative multiple-case comparison between four high- low-performing implementing stormwater programme within metropolitan Sydney, Australia. These two types...
In Melbourne, Australia, the adoption of Water Sensitive Urban Design (WSUD) and inclusion best practice in new urban development has shifted “drained city” 1960s toward an environmentally-oriented “waterways for future. However, is tenuous owing to variable commitment local municipalities WSUD. This paper reports on first phase a social research project, which aims secure model waterways city by addressing capacity deficits municipalities.

Increasing urbanisation is occurring in Australia’s major cities and almost every country the world. This creates a challenge for urban water sector, which not only needs to provide traditional services (i.e., wastewater, domestic water) rapidly growing population, but also service potential additional demands contribute enhanced amenity, do so context of climate change. paper focused on stormwater management controls develop new greenfield sites three east coast Australian cities—Melbourne,...
SIRS,-As this is a subject which particularly affects general practitioners I hope you will allow me to make few remarks on the very extreme views set forth by various gentlemen at pp. 1446
